Farm to Market Road 3 or FM 3 is a farm to market road in southwestern Leon County, Texas.[1]
Contents |
The southern terminus of FM 3 is at FM 39 in Normangee. The route briefly travels to the west, providing access to Normangee City Park. It then turns more northward, intersecting FM 977 before reaching its northern terminus at US 79.[1]
A spur connection connects FM 3 in central Normangee to SH OSR to the south.[1] While signed as Spur 3 using the standard state "Spur" shield, it is not related to the route officially designated Spur 3, located in Nueces County.[2]
FM 3 was originally designated in 1942, from Normangee westward to Normangee City Park, as a replacement for SH 265. The route was lengthened to the northwest, first in 1949 to FM 977, and then in 1970 to its present western terminus at US 79. The spur connection was designated in 1969.[1]
The entire route is in Leon County.
